Look Ma, No Training Wheels

After many long and exasperating attempts, Sami can now ride her bike without training wheels! I am glad 

we got that down before she was driving a car!

And Ava is not far behind her!

Small Blessings

Ava has always been my shy child. She had a hard time letting go and being OK with pre-school. Thanks to some wonderful teachers and a sweet new best friend, I think that we could count this first and last year of pre-school a success.

Mothers Day Picnic

Ava had a Mothers Day Picnic at her pre-school, Small Blessings. She was so excited for me to come and have "tea" with her. She made me a hat to wear out of a coffee filter. She loved it so much that she wanted to wear it!

Track

Austin ran track for Carson Middle School this Spring. He really took to the hurdles. By the end of the season he was doing pretty well. Hopefully this is something that he will continue to pursue and enjoy!

Seriously!?!

Seriously Nevada!?! 

You are making it really hard for me to love you right now!

NJHS

Austin was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society tonight. We are really proud of him and all of his accomplishments. I truly admire him and his desire and effort to succeed in school. That attitude will take him far!

Celebrate

This past weekend we took another trip to Utah (2nd in 3 weeks). We went in for a birthday celebration weekend. The adults in Matt's family went to Heber to spend the night at the Homestead. Becky turned 60 a few weeks ago and we also had Josie, Jake, Tom and Matt's birthdays as well. We had a great time being back with everyone. We are tired of always missing things, so we decided to make the trip. 
We spent a lot of time chatting, eating, playing on the pool and riding Pete and Merr's scooters around town. It was fun to be able to reconnect and spend time with Matt's siblings without having to worry about the kiddos for a while!
